The era was... the classic YCS era. Was it RE6?? Dude this was eating at me today all day. There's no way they did that. It must of been some joke thread.

RE5 has you fight basically African tribal savages and there was a big hubbub about it being racist when it came out.

*clears throat at the podium in the senate* It... uh, occurs to me, now, that I could have asked this in the "The 'That Did/Didn't Happen' Thread" thread.

I read head bob as "head of the bobs" as in a leader of Bobs if you will. I think I should go to bed.

If by 'big hubub' you mean 1 or two handwringing blog posts.

The sequence where Chris uses a firehose to keep the zombies at bay was maybe a poor choice of optics, but the studio is japanese

wait, poo poo, this sounds familiar
I used to lurk back in those days

it was like, somebody heard zombies originated from haiti, but didn't really understand what that meant, so they just put romero or 28 days later zombies in haiti to "bring the zombie genre back to its roots", and it looked like they just ended up with a game about beating crazed violent haitians with pipes and poo poo, right?

there wasn't really a media frenzy like there was for resident evil, it was like a mid-shelf or budget game with decent graphics, and it might not have even come out, but there was a trailer or it was demo'd at PAX or something
maybe it was a phone game?
poo poo this is gonna bug the crap out of me

but I feel like I remember dead island pretty well?
dead island was the game that had that cool backwards cinematic trailer and then the game actually came out and everybody got really bummed out because it sucked

My friend was complaining about the people who made a big deal out of all that stuff and I sat down to watch him play the game for a bit, and there was an immediate scene of some normal looking Africans going insane at the sight of a white blonde woman who they chase down and turn into a monster lmao

capcom responded to the controversy by putting in some guys who look like saddam hussein here and there. kept the levels where you blap dozens of grass skirt wearing african dudes though.

they also added an explanatory note to the part where the tribal guys bark like dogs and chuck spears at you that says that the virus is making them "revert to their primal state" even though that never happens anywhere else in the series or even in the same game lol

I also remember one of the devs or artists in an interview saying they went on-location to Africa so they could do principal photography and portray it accurately. He also couldn't remember the name of the country they went to lol

The cutscene that establishes the new virus in RE5 is when a blonde white woman gets abducted by a group of black men and forcibly infected. She's one of like five white enemies in the entire game

Actually I was combining two cutscenes in my memory and the forced infection is on another black character
